nufcTV: Harper - 'I Can't Thank Fans Enough'

It was hard work, Steve Harper admitted, but his 20 Years Charity Match was worth all of the effort as 50,793 packed St. James' Park to watch a Newcastle United Legends XI take on AC Milan Glorie.

That meant thousands of pounds were raised for local charities and although the match finished 0-0, it was a thoroughly entertaining affair with the likes of Alan Shearer, Faustino Asprilla, Paolo Maldini and Franco Baresi all involved.

United lost on a penalty shoot-out with Harper himself being denied from the spot but that failed to take the gloss off a night to remember for the long-serving former Magpies goalkeeper, who will be back on Tyneside in just over a week with his new side, Hull City.
